Ruud faced an early exit from US Open 2025
Speaking of Ruud, the 26-year-old had a subpar campaign in the recently concluded US Open 2025. The star player put in a good show in the first round of the tournament, taking on Sebastian Ofner and defeating him in straight sets.ย
However, his campaign ended in the second round of the US Open, when he was defeated across five sets by Raphael Collignon. After his shock defeat, the 26-year-old took centre stage and talked about his issues with confidence after his exit from the tournament.ย
โI havenโt won that many matches, letโs say, in the last two, three months, also due to being out for a bit, but when I came back, I didnโt win that many matches to build up a lot of confidence in the matches. Also, feeling of mishitting a lot of shots, hitting a lot of frames out of my forehand, which is supposed to be my best shot. Itโs not a good feeling,” Ruud said in the post-match press conference.ย
